John S. Dellinger of Oregon Widely Known as Cranberry Grower, ASTORIA, Oreg, February 24 (#).— John 8. Dellinger, 63, publisher of the Astoria morning newspaper here, and known widely on the Pacific Coast as a cranberry grower, died yesterday at his ranch home near Seaside, Oreg. Death was attributed to heart.attack. The publisher was born in Union County, Pa., and began his newspaper career on the Iowa Blade at Lake City, Towa. In 1898 he shipped a complete newspaper plant to Skagway, Alaska, ‘where he published the first daily news- pare in the territory. He settled in As- by toria in 1893. Boy and Two Sisters. The archaeologists believe that the ! \ outer stone wall recently unearthed was — constructed in the middle bronze age, somewhere between 2000 B. C. and 1600 B. C. According to one scheme of chronology, the late bronze age was the period of the Jewish leader Joshua, who fought a battle at Jericho. Jericho, 14 miles northeast of Jeru- salem, was many times destroyed. After being ruined by Joshua, it was rebuilt by Ahab, and was later the residence of Herod the Great. The Roman Em- peror Vespasian destroyed it, and then Hadrian rebuilt it. It was destroyed again by the Crusaders, CONGREGATIdN PLANS TO CELEBRATE BIRTH Sixtieth Auniversary of Formation v Will' Be Observed at Syna- gogue on Sunday. tramp—a dowdy-looking boat, which made barely enough h2adway to de- | velop a wash.
